What is proper if someone doesn't even finish one term and they just quit? Is it still proper to say, Governor Palin? How does one refer to those who have been forced out of office mid-term? Just wondering. Regarding the title of “Governor”…..

Just wondering.

Not his first attempt to explain What jumped at me at the launch of the fund and even now, is all the Funds he refers to as using to reference and create Palin's are all federal funds. I looked at some info on Young setting his up, they have to be approved by the Senate I believe. There is not one reference to a State fund held by a Governor in the creation of the AFT. He references throughout his explanation of the fund as being for the Republication Vice Presidential candidate when in fact, as at the time of launch of this fund, she was the Governor of Alaska. The election was long over and it's like Evans forgot - McCain/Palin lost. Sounds like the fund was in the creation mode for months and quite possibly when they were campaigning but he didn't switch modes. In an earlier writing of his, he mentioned it being legal in Alaska but I don't think he took into account the laws of the State of Alaska re personal monetary gains, gifts, etc. To me, actually very basic. Not rocket science. Therefore, all the funds that he is declaring as illegal are I would think legal as they're federal and approved to operate. The fund document created for Palin I believe is the illegal one. He seems to have jumped the ball -- the fund was launched while she was still Governor, not as she was campaigning nationally and not after she aborted her position for which she asked the citizens of the State of Alaska for their votes. Actually, I don't think it would have been approved as a VP Candidate. After she quit - it's a fund by a private citizen. Sounds more to me that Evans is trying to dig himself out. The fact that Evans writes for the site his post is on and they ask for email address and name, I will not post there. Jhop or someone else may be able to correct what I have said if I am wrong. 101 tamara,

What jumped at me at the launch of the fund and even now, is all the Funds he refers to as using to reference and create Palin’s are all federal funds. I looked at some info on Young setting his up, they have to be approved by the Senate I believe. There is not one reference to a State fund held by a Governor in the creation of the AFT.

He references throughout his explanation of the fund as being for the Republication Vice Presidential candidate when in fact, as at the time of launch of this fund, she was the Governor of Alaska. The election was long over and it’s like Evans forgot – McCain/Palin lost.

There is supposed to be an exception for former POTUS's and VPOTUS's -- use the next highest title, because there is only one POTUS or VPOTUS at a time -- but this is widely ignored. However, that means that it <i>is</i> okay to refer to her as Governor Palin (although I don't plan to). You'd have to consult a more knowledgeable etiquette maven to learn if the use of the term "the Governor" is acceptable, since there is a possibility of confusion with the current Governor. @100 rebekkah — As I understand it, if you are a former government official, the correct form of address is to use your highest former title.
